I'm at a loss for words.

It's been a little while since I've listened to James Vincent McMorrow, I'll admit, but that doesn't mean that my love (no homo) and respect for such a talented songwriter and singer ever went away. New track 'Cavalier' has rekindled a lot of old feelings and memories that I have tied to this guy.

What I love about this track is the escalation over the course of the 4 minutes and 43 seconds. It starts off slow, shifts into a warm groove, driven by James' soothing voice, only to trip into an all out ballad. And man, those falsetto's. Shivers.

My words can't do this track justice. Just listen and be swept away into your own memories. 'Cavalier' is the first single taken from Post Tropical, due out in January 2014
